OK, let's see if we can clean up some of this junk

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order in which they are mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes.

Now let's do some work on your log:

First we need to make all files and folders VISIBLE:

Go to start>control panel>folder options>view (tab) *choose to "show hidden files and folders," *uncheck the "hide protected operating system files" and the "hide extensions for know file types" boxes. *Close the window with ok*All hidden files will now be visible

Close all browser windows and RUN HijackThis.. Click the SCAN button to produce a log.

I`ll do that. Thanks so far. The computer seems to work fine now. I just did a system scan with AVG and no infections were found. Still there is 6 troijans in the vault and I checked the details, they are all unhealable. So am I still infected? Doesn`t AVG identify viruses that are in the vault?

I ran EWIDO but it didn't find anything. Trojan hunter found 4 entryes in the registry (coolwebsearch.119, elitetoolbar.100, ISTBar.211, targetsaver.100). I deleted them and ran the program again and they were gone.
In AVG I emptied the virus vault and after that I ran a system scan. No problems were found anymore! I'll run the system for a couple of days and then I will let you know how the computer works. Thank you very much for the help. I will surely send a donation.
